Apple Releases iOS 13.1.3 with Bug Fixes, Performance Improvement

The launch of iOS 13 in September has proven to be shaky, with Apple releasing new versions at a swift pace.

That last update saw some devices reporting failure to ring or vibrate during an incoming call – an issue that has been fixed in the latest update. Also, certain users couldn't pair their Apple Watch with their iPhones, while some users were unable to get notifications the Apple Watch. This also seems to have been fixed.

The latest update is now available to download on compatible iPhones, along with an iPadOS 13.1.3 for suitable iPads. To get the update, go to the Settings on your device; choose General; then choose Software Update. Then click on Download and Install to update your device.
